Watch a honeybee colony at work: foragers scout for flowers, workers build honeycomb, and the colony coordinates through chemical signals. A simulation of one of nature's most sophisticated societies.
Honeybees use waggle dances to communicate the direction and distance of flowers. The simulation models division of labour, pheromone communication, comb construction, and the dynamic balance of a thriving hive.
Click flowers to add nectar sources. Watch scouts find them and recruit foragers via waggle dance. Adjust the number of bees and nectar richness with the sliders.
A single honeybee visits up to 2,000 flowers to produce one teaspoon of honey. A hive of 60,000 bees collectively flies the equivalent of twice around Earth to fill a single jar.
